I have been visiting Shiraz so long and several times but this was the first time I had the chance to see "Aliabad Kamin". This is a village 105 km northeast of Shiraz located in the city of Marvdasht on the way to Esfahan. Among the feature of the village one is being close to Pasargad, where the historical site, Cyrus' Tomb is located and then this is where 50 years ago a German team together with an Iranian team started the establishment of Fars agricultural training centre. And since it is close to Aliabad, it is called with the same name. The operation of project lasted from 1960 t0 1966.
Aliasghar Ahmadi an employee of this training complex has made a survey and recorded the history of the center in his book titled, Aliabad Kamin in passage of time. In his book he states, a German group and an Iranian group worked together under the supervision of Dr. Prilip and then, Dr. Flax and Iranian team was headed by Engineer Lashkari.

When I asked him if ever the Germans came back to the training center he sighed and said, "no one ever heard from them". And he hoped one day he will have any news from them or their colleagues who generously helped them making the training center.
